There is no chance that ISU goes independent.

Ouch, that will leave a mark.

Zach and I don't get along particularly well, but making fun of someone for being a professional photographer isn't exactly hitting him between the eyes.

Perhaps you should have read my reply before you posted, dumbass. I didn't say a word about it.

Nobody gives a shit what Zackipoo does for a living. It's just kind of funny that a guy who takes pictures for a living seems to think he has all the answers for everything, all the time. Sort of like Skip.

Speaking of Skip, I got a random rep from him a few weeks ago.

The SEC now wants all nine schools in the Big 12 to sign a waiver saying they will not sue the Southeastern Conference over the departure of Texas A&M to the SEC.

The Big 12 schools will not sign those waivers.

It's Baylor. They're threatening to sue.

NONE of the schools are willing to sign the waiver. Not just Baylor.

SEC accepts Texas A&M; Baylor temporarily stands in way

SEC presidents unanimously voted to accept Texas A&M on Tuesday night
However, invite was contingent on no Big 12 members taking legal action
A source says Baylor has threatened to sue, putting A&M's move on hold

A threat of legal action by Baylor has, at least temporarily, held up Texas A&M's move to the SEC. The SEC's presidents voted unanimously Tuesday night to extend an invitation to Texas A&M to become the league's 13th member, but that invitation is contingent upon all of Texas A&M's Big 12 counterparts waiving their right to a legal challenge.

A source said Baylor had broken ranks with the remaining Big 12 members, which decided last week to waive their right to legally challenge a move by Texas A&M. In a statement, Florida president Bernie Machen, the chair of the SEC's presidents group, said the SEC would not accept Texas A&M as a member until the potential legal roadblocks were cleared.

"We were notified yesterday afternoon that at least one Big 12 institution had withdrawn its previous consent and was considering legal action," Machen said in the statement. "The SEC has stated that to consider an institution for membership, there must be no contractual hindrances to its departure. The SEC voted unanimously to accept Texas A&M University as a member upon receiving acceptable reconfirmation that the Big 12 and its members have reaffirmed the letter dated September 2, 2011."

BAYLOR: Don't mess with Texas football

The SEC also released the aforementioned letter, which was sent by Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe to SEC commissioner Mike Slive. "We both agreed," Beebe wrote, "it is in the best interests of each of our conferences and our member institutions of higher education to waive any and all legal actions by either conference and its members resulting from admission of Texas A&M into the SEC, as long as such admission is confirmed publicly by September 8, 2011."

ISU's must have their thumbs up their asses if they're not going to fight TAMU's departure.

Well, I guess this could stop all this realignment stuff cold. I can't imagine that aTm would want to go to a different conference if the SEC won't take them.

Now on 810 they are saying that there isnt a lawsuit and that all agree to let aTm go to the SEC...
